yep, I got them through Mitch a little over a year ago. And drive by myself? not usually, I car pool to work with a buddy every other week, and I used to have my GF that was in there most of the time I drove it. Only time I'm really by myself is when I drive from Cincy to Toledo and back.

Just raise the other side
Problem solves :p

Are you sure the threaded sleeve is in the tab/notch where it should be?

that's how I've been dealing with it, but I'd like to go a little lower now that my new lip sits further off the ground.

I'm pretty sure they are. I didn't mix up the springs and struts when I got them. I'm going to juack it up this weekend probably and take a really good look.

I had the same prob when all corners were set evenly. I'm not maxed out so I just compensated accordingly.

Edit: same brand as yours.

How 'off' is it? From fender to ground

it's about a half inch off. At the moment all the fender-to-ground measurements are the same, I made it that way. I'm just not happy with the height, and the right rear is what's keeping me from going any lower. because I can't adjust that one and I don't want to make it look like the side is lower by lowering the rest.

i doubt that ben wants to do that, they are still brand new, and revalving them isnt that much if you need to do so.



Check the forks in the front.

Half an inch? Are you sure the top hat assembly was put together correctly? Sounds like you forgot a bushing or something

here's pictures..I took a look under there yesterday, and nothing seems different on either side.

Passenger Side


Driver's Side


It's a little bit more than 1/2", probably closer to 3/4"-1" :(
